An unfortunate fact of life for the network administrator is that the virus and malware threats are not going away any time soon. In fact if anything, things are only going to get worse. Managing enterprise-wide anti-virus and anti-spyware solutions can be difficu two applications, two separate points of management. Why not roll both security tools into a common solution? Computer Associates has done just that with ITM (Integrated Threat Management) r8, a bundling of eTrust AntiVirus and eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware Corporate Edition. ITM allows network admins to create, manage and monitor their virus and malware policy from a single browser-based console. A flexible discovery option helps locate ITM-installed clients and the new graphical reporting engine makes keeping up with pest activity easy. The real-time anti-virus and malware scanning engines did a decent, if not total, job of keeping my test systems malware free. And ITM's on-demand scanner did an excellent job locating and eradicating the one that slipped through.
